1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
3. 0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:21God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:27Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:29And now the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
13. 0:37I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton III, joined by the corner contingent.
14. 0:42Right across from me, my man and a hundred grand Mr Bobby
15. 1:00We'll be right back
16. 1:01as soon as we can.
17. 1:03We're joined by producing
18. 1:05extraordinaire often imitate it
19. 1:06never duplicated right now.
20. 1:08He's going around with a live
21. 1:10video stream feed.
22. 1:12The real Jay Mac ladies and
23. 1:14gentlemen he's in the screening
24. 1:16room quite perturbed at the
25. 1:18moment but he'll be all right.
26. 1:19We're going to be all right as
27. 1:20we go forward with today's
28. 1:22edition of the program at this
29. 1:24very moment many of you if not
30. 1:26most of you are making your
31. 1:28transition from your part time
32. 1:30jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
33. 1:35And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the
34. 1:43primacy that God places on family.
35. 1:47I will continue to emphasize this because it is vitally, vitally important that we have
36. 1:53a proper calibration in our minds and our hearts as to what is and what must remain
37. 1:59primary. I don't point this out to ignore or to denigrate other stations of life and other
38. 2:08relational makeups. Now, let me be clear, when I say other relational makeups, I'm not talking
39. 2:12about counterfeits of marriage and things of that nature. I'm talking about God knows when
40. 2:18we are in a stage of singleness. God knows when we are widowed or widower or we're empty
41. 2:26He nesters the various stages of life that comport with his natural order, but make no
42. 2:34mistake about it.
43. 2:35He has ordained family as the foundation of society.
44. 2:42Family with marriage at the center of it is the first human institution that God has ordained
45. 2:46and established.
46. 2:48He did that intentionally.
47. 2:53He did that understanding that the primary unit that will result in world shaping is the
48. 3:03home.
49. 3:04It is the family.
50. 3:08We know this for many different reasons.
51. 3:10This is why mental health professionals, you to begin all types of sessions, no matter what
52. 3:15the issue is with one question.
53. 3:17Tell me about your relationship with your father, whether it's a man, whether it's a
54. 3:20woman, no matter who it is, because God ordained father is to make this outsized imprint on
55. 3:25the lives of individual.
56. 3:28God ordained mothers to make this outsized imprint.
57. 3:32You have grown people become athletes.
58. 3:34Oh, what do you want to do?
59. 3:35I want to buy my house.
60. 3:37It's a part of what God designed us to be.
61. 3:39And of course, society works, to devil works, to flesh works,
62. 3:42to pervert God's good and glorious design.
63. 3:45But we must understand that.
64. 3:46So as you are making your transition to your full time jobs,
65. 3:49as you are listening to me,
66. 3:51and I thank you for doing so,
67. 3:54there's so many different things available to you now.
68. 3:56you're certainly not obligated to tune in here, but I'm grateful what you're doing.
69. 4:00So I would ask that you would share the program with your friends, your family members, your
70. 4:06loved ones to inform them about what you are enjoying.
71. 4:12It is vitally important.
72. 4:20It helps to grow the program for you to share it.
73. 4:26So we're looking forward to that happening.
74. 4:28And as you're making your transition to your part time job, understand the
75. 4:33primacy that God places on family and welcome his primacy to inform your
76. 4:37engagement.
77. 4:40And I tell moms, you know, the whole notion of I'm just a mom is a non
78. 4:45sequitur.
79. 4:46No such thing as just a mom, fathers and mothers shaped the world.
80. 4:52I'm telling you straight up, the enemy works over time to deceive us of that notion
81. 4:58and to get us to seed our authority and allow antichrist position holders to shape the hearts and
82. 5:07minds of our future generations, of our current generation. We resist that, man. To the word of God,
83. 5:15we go. Genesis chapter 1 verse 28, I want to go to one particular portion of scripture,
84. 5:21and I want to connect this to what we talked about yesterday, reading from the Declaration of
85. 5:25of independence and recognizing that the idea of unalienable right supplies to individuals.
86. 5:35And that flows from the understanding of the Amago dei. The concept of individual liberty
87. 5:39is directly connected to the theological reality of the Amago dei, the Latin phrase for image
88. 5:45of God, human beings are made in God's image. Genesis 128 is the first command that God
89. 5:55articulates two mankind and it says this, God blessed them.
90. 5:59And this is the human kind that he made his own image.
91. 6:04He made them male and female.
92. 6:07God did that. That is why there is no such thing as
93. 6:13256 quote unquote genders. He made them both male and female.
94. 6:17God did that. Which is why we can discern this fact
95. 6:21at the cellular level in biology. We've talked before, you can
96. 6:25to zoom a skeleton, the skeletal remains
97. 6:28that do not have any visible organs,
98. 6:30and we can determine whether or not that is a male
99. 6:32or a female because God designed us that way.
100. 6:36Then verse 28, God blessed them,
101. 6:38and God said to them, be fruitful, multiply,
102. 6:43fill the earth and subdue it,
103. 6:45and rule over the fish of the sea,
104. 6:47and over the birds of the sky,
105. 6:48and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
106. 6:54Now, I would have spent some time on the latter part,
107. 6:58subduing the earth and ruling over every living thing.
108. 7:03The flying creatures, the birds of the sky,
109. 7:07the swimming creatures, the fish of the sea,
110. 7:11every living thing that moves on the earth.
111. 7:16This is the four part command we've talked about before,
112. 7:19each component building upon the next component,
113. 7:21each subsequent component requiring the prior component.
114. 7:25Multiplication requires fruitfulness.
115. 7:27Filling the earth requires multiplication.
116. 7:29Subdling the earth requires the earth being filled, etc.
117. 7:31That's how it works.
118. 7:33I explained before that the Hebrew word for subdue,
119. 7:36the earth is kavosh.
120. 7:38It means to make the earth subservient,
121. 7:41or to make it conducive to maximize human flourishing.
122. 7:44God from the very beginning was invested in His earth being cultivated
123. 7:50for the express purposes of maximized human flourishing.
124. 7:55God was invested in that from the very beginning.
125. 7:58This is why He imputed to His image bearers the capacity to do so,
126. 8:04describing them as being made in His very own image,
127. 8:08in the seleem and the demooth of God Himself.
128. 8:13This is why, ladies and gentlemen, we should never be surprised
129. 8:18that, well, what is the nation and the history of the world
130. 8:22that served as the seat for the most earth-shaking innovations in all of world history. Well, that
131. 8:30would be the one nation that is committed from its foundational level to the preservation of these
132. 8:40rights that are unalienable. To see this differently, we should not be surprised that flourishing has
133. 8:46been maximized in the place where mankind's freedoms are most protected. It shouldn't be
134. 8:55surprising. The converse is also true. The places where mankind's freedoms are most constrained
135. 9:02always become the places that are the most soul crushing for mankind, which is why you have very
136. 9:08little innovation coming from those nations historically. And I'm saying historically,
137. 9:13because I want you to have a broad scope assessment of this notion that I'm presenting
138. 9:18to you, not just a microcosm, not just a two year window, a five year window. I'm talking about over
139. 9:22or the span of human history.
140. 9:25It's not a surprising thing,
141. 9:27because God designed mankind from the very beginning,
142. 9:30having made us in his likeness and image,
143. 9:32to be able to kavash his earth,
144. 9:34to be able to make his earth conducive
145. 9:39to maximize human flourishing.
146. 9:44This is why historically,
147. 9:46the communist nations have not been very good at innovation.
148. 9:50Usually, when there is innovation,
149. 9:51it's the product of espionage,
150. 9:53because they've stolen something from a more free people.
151. 9:58And the same thing is happening today.
152. 10:01Then I want you to note this next component
153. 10:03and to rule over the fish of the sea, the swimming creatures,
154. 10:06the birds of the sky, the flying creatures,
155. 10:07and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
156. 10:09Notice the Lord didn't say,
157. 10:13unless they're bigger than you,
158. 10:16unless their size is more intimidating.
159. 10:18No, big creatures, small creatures,
160. 10:20God has given mankind the capacity to rule over them.
161. 10:26It's a feature of God's good design.
162. 10:29So when you have the notions of free expression,
163. 10:37you recognize that free expression,
164. 10:39mankind's liberty in communicating ideas
165. 10:44without fear of government reprisal,
166. 10:47often corresponds with man's greatest innovations,
167. 10:52greatest innovation.
168. 10:55And the opposite is true.
169. 10:57Because of God, the creator,
170. 10:59and I talk to my children about this all the time,
171. 11:01because we are made in this image,
172. 11:03God's people, especially those of us who are born again,
173. 11:05we don't need to copy stuff from the world.
174. 11:09If you are in Christ,
175. 11:10you should be among the greatest creatives,
176. 11:13whether you are musically inclined,
177. 11:15whether you are poetically inclined,
178. 11:17whether you are a filmmaker,
179. 11:19whether you are a manufacturer,
180. 11:21a designer, an architect,
181. 11:24whether you are one given to the mathematics
182. 11:26and given to the sciences,
183. 11:28coding and linguists,
184. 11:35We haven't been plugged into the vine abiding in the vine.
185. 11:39We are tapped in to the ultimate source of creativity.
186. 11:44The greatest artist that ever is,
187. 11:46ever was, ever will be, is the creative self.
188. 11:51And those of us who abide in the vine,
189. 11:54we have access to similarly create.
190. 11:59So I'm explaining all of this to talk about, yes,
191. 12:02these macro assessment of the phenomenon of creativity
192. 12:07and innovation.
193. 12:09This is why the concept of hyper and overregulation,
194. 12:13stymies, economic activity, stymies, innovation,
195. 12:18stymies, those things.
196. 12:21The removal of those regulations allows industry to flourish.
197. 12:26And to drill this down to the individual,
198. 12:28many of you are listening to me,
199. 12:29you have desires to make things shake,
200. 12:32to make different moves in this year,
201. 12:33I wanna tell you that you won't be able to pursue those moves
202. 12:37by turning away from the Lord.
203. 12:40There's no way you can untether to dislodge yourself from the vine
204. 12:45and expect to thrive.
205. 12:48It ain't gonna happen.
206. 12:50If you have ideas, you wanna see them come to fruition.
207. 12:53There are songs you need to write.
208. 12:54There are businesses you need to start.
209. 12:56There are ideas that you have locked up in you.
210. 12:57You're not gonna have those things realized
211. 12:59by turning away from the Lord, not possible.
212. 13:07The only way for those things to truly meet fruition
213. 13:12is by plugging into the vine,
214. 13:15which is why Jesus said it himself.
215. 13:18He is the vine.
216. 13:20We are the branches.
217. 13:22Apart from him, success is not your future.
218. 13:29So if you desire these things to come to fruition,
219. 13:35especially those who are listening to me,
220. 13:36you might have strayed a bit,
221. 13:39you know, you've become a bit slack,
222. 13:42different things have happened in life,
223. 13:43and now you're a bit distant, maybe not,
224. 13:45anchored in the local church.
225. 13:48The only way forward and fullness is to return to the Lord.
226. 13:53He's returned to the Lord.
227. 13:54If you're listening to me and you're not a believer,
228. 13:59I want to encourage you to refuse to resist the Lord's drawing
229. 14:05because he's faithful, the Lord draws,
230. 14:08refuse to reject the call of the gospel.
231. 14:13Today is the day of salvation
232. 14:16because God is long suffering, but long is not forever.
233. 14:23You should surrender your life to the Lord
234. 14:26while you have the opportunity.
235. 14:28Jesus said, work while it is day
236. 14:30because there's a time coming when it's nightfall
237. 14:33and no man will be able to work.
238. 14:39It's not surprising that where freedom abounds,
239. 14:43innovation tends to abound likewise.
240. 14:47The reason for that, folks, is because God made mankind
241. 14:51in His image.
242. 14:51We are made in the likeness and the image of God.
243. 15:00A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
244. 15:04Psalm one, beginning at verse one.
245. 15:06All the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
246. 15:11or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers,
247. 15:14but they delight in the law of the Lord,
248. 15:17meditating on it day and night.
249. 15:19They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
250. 15:22bearing fruit each season.
251. 15:24Their leaves never wither and they prosper in all they do,
252. 15:27but not the wicked.
253. 15:29They are like worthless chafes scattered by the wind.
254. 15:32They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
255. 15:34Centers will have no place among the godly,
256. 15:36For the Lord watches over the path of the God,
257. 15:38over the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
258. 15:42Hebrews, chapter 4, verse 12,
259. 15:43for the word of God is living and active,
260. 15:45sharper than any two edged sword,
261. 15:48piercing to the division of soul and of spirit,
262. 15:50of joints and of marrow,
263. 15:52and desiring the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
264. 15:55Again, Hebrews, chapter 4, verse 12.
265. 16:05Shiting light into the darkness,
266. 16:07this is the Hamilton Corner,
267. 16:09an American family radio.
268. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner Abraham Hamilton.
269. 16:13A third here.
270. 16:14Thank you so much for tuning into the program.
271. 16:16I want to let folks know if you are in the Hope, Arkansas area.
272. 16:23I'm coming your way March 1st, Saturday, March 1st, 2025.
273. 16:28I will be joining the Garrett Memorial Christian School family for their fundraising
274. 16:33gala tune in.
275. 16:35I'm going to be sharing information as to how you can get tickets to the event.
276. 16:39I am looking forward to this will be my second time.
277. 16:41and hope Arkansas looking forward to that.
278. 16:45See the family of God there and the people coming out to support Christian pedagogy, which
279. 16:51is vitally important.
280. 16:52We have to understand that the call to make disciples includes cultivating the mind.
281. 16:56Jesus himself said, you are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and your
282. 17:02mind.
283. 17:03And just strength for far too long, we've seated the area of the mind to God haters.
284. 17:10Look at our nation. See every tree bears fruit, the type of tree is made evident by the fruit that's born.
285. 17:22And for far too long we've allowed our young people to be to be discipled having their minds cultivated by people who hate God.
286. 17:31We shouldn't be surprised then that those who have been discipled into that direction live a lifestyle that indicates God hatred at its various levels,
287. 17:41levels, which is why it's far more prevalent for the notion of nominal Christianity at
288. 17:49best, if not outright, Christ rejection, because we've had generations of our fellow Americans
289. 17:59who've been discipled by the world. But Christian pedagogy, and not Christian because you have
290. 18:06Christians doing it, but because of the content and the substance of what is conveyed is anchored
291. 18:11in a biblical worldview, vitally vitally important.
292. 18:16So mark your calendars, March 1st, 2025,
293. 18:19Garrett Memorial Christian School in Hope, Arkansas.
294. 18:22We will be there.
295. 18:23All right, so much to get to today.
296. 18:28So the Lake and Riley Act passed by Congress.
297. 18:30We'll get to that if we have time.
298. 18:35But I'm gonna start here.
299. 18:36This is very interesting to me.
300. 18:37And I'll set up this portion of the program
301. 18:40by asking you, hmm, do you trust this?
302. 18:45So you have all of these tech giant leaders and all they all, you know,
303. 18:49they flying to Mar-a-Lago. They want to gain an audience.
304. 18:53You want to gain an audience with one Donald Trump? See,
305. 18:57he's because before you were against the family. And interestingly,
306. 19:06day before this announcement,
307. 19:11Mark Zuckerberg announces that the meta board of directors,
308. 19:15which no matter is the parent company that owns Facebook and
309. 19:18Instagram and WhatsApp. They announced new board members, UFC president, very well-known
310. 19:28Trump supporter Dana White is now a member of the board of directors for meta into the
311. 19:36Santa. You know, the CEO and president of USC. You also have the the Stellantes and Ferrari
312. 19:43chairman, John Elkin added to Metas Board of Directors as well as Charlie Sunghurst, former
313. 19:50general manager and head of global corporate strategy at Microsoft added to the board of directors and then
314. 19:58following the announcement of these gentlemen being added to the board of directors at meta
315. 20:04then you have Mark Zuckerberg's. Zuckerberg's came out with the vigil where he decried the
316. 20:16the prevalence of the censorship of speech on his platforms and promised, I promise you,
317. 20:27hope Arkansas is my mind. I did not. Promises less censorship needs to return to free expression.
318. 20:42You know, that is what drove the establishment of Facebook, which became meta in the first
319. 20:47place to go into the zucker box. He announced the plan to do away with fact checkers. He
320. 20:54also noted and by the way, the election seems to be a result that showed that people are
321. 21:02far more interested in free expression and free speech. So we're going to get rid of fact
322. 21:11checkers in and we're going to go to a to a model kind of like the artist formerly known
323. 21:16as Twitter. X he didn't say that the artist from the 20s and I said he just said X.
324. 21:20When they use community notes, you know, we're not gonna have fat checkers that are as active things of that nature
325. 21:26I want you to hear for yourself
326. 21:29Listen to and watch Mark Zuckerberg
327. 21:33Explaining that we've now reached a cultural tipping point once again prioritizing
328. 21:37Speech clip number one clip number one go
329. 21:40Hey everyone
330. 21:41I want to talk about something important today because it's time to get back to our roots around free expression on Facebook and Instagram
331. 21:48I started building social media to give people a voice.
332. 21:52I gave a speech at Georgetown five years ago about the importance of protecting free expression,
333. 21:57and I still believe this today.
334. 21:59But a lot has happened over the last several years.
335. 22:01There's been widespread debate about potential harms from online content.
336. 22:05Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more.
337. 22:09A lot of this is clearly political, but there's also a lot of legitimately bad stuff out there.
338. 22:14Drugs, terrorism, child exploitation.
339. 22:17These are things that we take very seriously, and I want to make sure that we handle responsibly.
340. 22:22So we built a lot of complex systems to moderate content.
341. 22:25But the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes.
342. 22:29Even if they accidentally censor just 1% of posts, that's millions of people.
343. 22:34And we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes and too much censorship.
344. 22:39The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech.
345. 22:45So we're gonna get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies,
346. 22:51and restoring free expression on our platforms.
347. 22:53Now I know that this substance I'm gonna get to, but y'all don't think I'm just gonna let
348. 22:59it pass that Mark Zuckerberg sitting up there letting his throat grow.
349. 23:04With his black t-shirt, his gold chain swinging, y'all don't think I'm gonna let that just go
350. 23:08by without a mention do you?
351. 23:10It'll look like Mark Zuckerberg went down to Southern California, hook up with Tony Lo,
352. 23:15you know?
353. 23:16Hey, love.
354. 23:19Zuckabucks letting his throw out, you know?
355. 23:21Zuckabucks, I bet Zuckabucks got a pick
356. 23:25with the fist clinch, just a little bit to his left.
357. 23:28I promise you.
358. 23:31Zuckabucks saying, I'm gonna do a little,
359. 23:35I'm gonna do some mixed martial arts,
360. 23:36you know, I'm gonna get into some farming,
361. 23:38and I'm gonna let my throw grow,
362. 23:42and I'm gonna get my elbows up and start rocking.
363. 23:47You see that chain he had on, Jeff?
364. 23:52Oh, Zuckerberg, boy, you are hilarious.
365. 23:56Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh, I didn't see no smart watch on his wrist, you know?
366. 24:03You let him keep talking, he gonna say, hey man, hey man, hey homie.
367. 24:06Hey homie, see what it is homie.
368. 24:08You know I had to go to Mar-a-Lago homie and we talked to Don, man.
369. 24:13We talked to Don Cuz.
370. 24:15We talked to Don Cuz and see what it is homie.
371. 24:17We tired of people telling us we can't say nothing, Chief.
372. 24:20We tired of it.
373. 24:22Are you tired of it low?
374. 24:29All right, back to what's important.
375. 24:34I, maybe it was just me, maybe I don't even want to
376. 24:36saw that.
377. 24:37So my question for all of you,
378. 24:43hey, do you think this is real from Zuckerberg?
379. 24:46That's a no from Bobby.
380. 24:48What say you Jeff?
381. 24:49Do you think this is real?
382. 24:51It's a no from Jeff.
383. 24:53So if it's a no, what do you think is really up here?
384. 25:00It was, ah, Bobby is rubbing the finger
385. 25:03to get Bobby saying money money money money.
386. 25:07What money, what's the coming from?
387. 25:09What's the deal?
388. 25:10What's going on?
389. 25:11From the government.
390. 25:13Ah, research and development funds.
391. 25:16All right, I see you.
392. 25:18I hear you.
393. 25:19So this is what he's saying.
394. 25:21That when I go back to speech and he goes through a whole, this video was about five
395. 25:25minutes long and some change and he goes through things that it's saying.
396. 25:31It seems rather convenient to me, you know, rather convenient to me.
397. 25:37This is happening.
398. 25:38You want to know what I think is really happening in addition to what you're talking about?
399. 25:43I think he's realizing other platforms are beginning to outpace him in authentic engagement,
400. 25:53beginning moving in such a direction that if he doesn't make a move, uh-huh, uh-huh,
401. 25:59If he doesn't make a move, that ultimately will result.
402. 26:04Because one thing Zuckerberg knows,
403. 26:07is technological innovation.
404. 26:08One thing he knows, is the proverbial,
405. 26:12a maxim for entrepreneurship, change or die.
406. 26:20And notice, and maybe I hadn't played that clip yet,
407. 26:22I'll play it next.
408. 26:24He said, we need to go to a format,
409. 26:25a little bit more like X.
410. 26:28Is that a fact checkers?
411. 26:29We need to use more of a community notes kind of program.
412. 26:33Listen to a watch clip number two, clip two, go.
413. 26:36More specifically, here's what we're going to do.
414. 26:39First, we're going to get rid of fact checkers
415. 26:42and replace them with community notes similar to X,
416. 26:45starting in the US.
417. 26:47After Trump first got elected in 2016,
418. 26:50the legacy media wrote nonstop
419. 26:52about how misinformation was a threat to democracy.
420. 26:55We tried in good faith to address those concerns
421. 26:57without becoming the arbiters of truth.
422. 27:00But the fact checkers have just been too politically biased
423. 27:03and have destroyed more trust than they've created,
424. 27:05especially in the US.
425. 27:07So over the next couple of months,
426. 27:09we're gonna phase in a more comprehensive
427. 27:11community note system.
428. 27:15See, I have this small problem that I listen
429. 27:17when people are speaking.
430. 27:19See, you can't just get this past me like this,
431. 27:23Mr. Zuckerberg.
432. 27:24You say that the legacy media, not me, y'all, not me,
433. 27:29the legacy media was over there
434. 27:31talking about, oh, with Trump's election in 2016,
435. 27:34we need to be on the lookout for misinformation.
436. 27:38Misinformation.
437. 27:40And then he said an exact same voice,
438. 27:42and we try to respond to that.
439. 27:44We try to respond to that concern
440. 27:45without being the arbiter of truth.
441. 27:48Sir, sir, that is an oxymoronic statement.
442. 27:53How can you?
443. 27:54It's been a recom-
444. 27:55How can you respond to the legacy medius concern
445. 28:02about misinformation?
446. 28:05And then the question we go should be,
447. 28:07you said it yourself, the misinformation concern
448. 28:12corresponded with President Trump's election.
449. 28:14Huh, why wasn't there concerned
450. 28:17about misinformation before?
451. 28:20Point one, point two, how are you going to be a platform
452. 28:25for people to convey information yet at the exact same time
453. 28:29you say, but we want to express our concern
454. 28:31and implement things to prohibit the spread
455. 28:35misinformation while at the exact same time saying, but we're not going to be the arbiters
456. 28:39of truth.
457. 28:40That the very operation makes you the arbiter of what you believe, not only of what is true,
458. 28:47but what is worth being disseminated on your platform, chief.
459. 28:53See, I have this funny other penchant because I understand the foundational, unalienability
460. 29:00of the freedom of speech.
461. 29:03I don't trust people who exhibit a willingness to curtail that freedom of speech and then
462. 29:07all of a sudden go, oh, my bad.
463. 29:10I didn't mean it because you know what it means?
464. 29:11That you didn't really understand the foundational
465. 29:13enduring notion of freedom of speech to begin with.
466. 29:16See, if as any errors that should take place,
467. 29:18there should be an airing on the side
468. 29:20of the unalienability of the rights,
469. 29:23not an airing on the side.
470. 29:24Well, like it's immediate, there's misinformation
471. 29:26and we must go along with it.
472. 29:28Then of course, I'm not gonna leave out
473. 29:30the whole little small detail
474. 29:32that the misinformation concern was also expressed
475. 29:35to him by government officials.
476. 29:38Now, I'm not gonna leave that out now, am I?
477. 29:40When you have the FBI rolling up and saying,
478. 29:41Hey, hey, hey, I just wanna let you know, oh, Mark.
479. 29:45Hey, Mark, there's something that could be coming,
480. 29:47you know, with something.
481. 29:48I won't know what it is.
482. 29:49It could be something kind of like a laptop, you know,
483. 29:52and it might have some things on it
484. 29:54that could be bad for Joe's advisory election.
485. 29:56I just wanna tell you it could come out like that.
486. 29:59And if it does, I just want you to know
487. 30:01that it's Russian misinformation very likely.
488. 30:04And then Mark goes, oh, golly gee.
489. 30:07What do you know?
490. 30:09Sure as the big bad government officials told us,
491. 30:12look at what's, see, my point folks,
492. 30:15and I'm kind of, my point here is that you are either
493. 30:20a first amendment embrace or you're not.
494. 30:23This is one of those things where there's no middle ground.
495. 30:26And the first amendment, we've talked about this before,
496. 30:28it's not an unlimited phenomenon.
497. 30:34You can't do illegal things, shout fire into things
498. 30:37that nature doesn't give you license to lie about others. That's why we have laws against
499. 30:42defamation and things of that nature. But when you understand the foundational rock rib notion
500. 30:47of freedom of speech and freedom of expression, you don't have these, you know, I don't know
501. 30:52what it was. We just had this eight year affair with being the ones who were the arbiters of
502. 30:57truth. But now all of a sudden, you know, Zuckerberg's even went down south with sewn tone low,
503. 31:04you know, so sea walking and things. And now he's like, you know, now, now we're going
504. 31:08to get rid of the fact checkers.
505. 31:11He was in, hey, and by the way, we're going to move
506. 31:12a portion of our accountability functions away from
507. 31:16California, we're going to relocate into Texas, you know,
508. 31:18because we don't want to have our operations questions
509. 31:21based on the location of our operations
510. 31:23for certain portions of the medicine business.
511. 31:29So all in all, I hear what you're saying, Zuckerbucks,
512. 31:32but I might not be from Missouri,
513. 31:37but you better show me.
514. 31:39We'll see.
515. 31:42I don't think Zuckerberg's announcements are motivated
516. 31:44some revelation, some altruistic, uh, uh, epiphany that is transpired.
517. 31:50I think something else is going.
518. 31:53I think something else is going.
519. 31:57And I think the ultimate thing is that he wants to keep meta
520. 32:01competitive with others.
521. 32:06He mentioned X.
522. 32:07I didn't mention he mentioned X, but I also think he's trying to
523. 32:11curry favor with the incoming administration.
524. 32:15You don't just all of a sudden lose your penchant for shall I say it's
525. 32:22Stalinist information dissemination.
526. 32:28So we'll see.
527. 32:30We'll see.
528. 32:33You're listening to and watching the Hamilton Corner,
529. 32:35we have more to get to.
530. 32:37When we come back from the break,
531. 32:38I'll ask another question.
532. 32:40I know the acronym for the political phrase,
533. 32:42MAGA was Make America Great Again, but who knew?
534. 32:45Could Make America Great Again also include Make America?
535. 32:48Add Greenland?
536. 32:50We'll get into it.
537. 32:52We'll make come back from this break.
538. 32:59Will you help us send persecuted Christians
539. 33:01around the world exactly what they're praying for, and that's a Bible to be able to endure
540. 33:05and persevere.
541. 33:06Hey, it's Michael Wolworth with Bible International.
542. 33:08It wasn't too long ago that I was in Indonesia, the largest Muslim majority country in the
543. 33:13world where a local evangelical church was introducing Muslims to Jesus Christ.
544. 33:17They want people not to just go to church, but to really understand who Jesus is.
545. 33:23That's why they started to go from house to house to door.
546. 33:26They lovingly shared the gospel, but this happened.
547. 33:29Because they didn't like it, they started to throw bombs to the church.
548. 33:33People threatened to kill them.
549. 33:34But persecuted believers, they loved their enemies and they counted all joy to suffer
550. 33:38for the Lord Jesus.
551. 33:39They didn't give up because they know that God will be there for them.
552. 33:43Help us bless persecuted believers with their very own copy of the Bible by the end of January
553. 33:48at $5 a Bible, $100 since 20.
554. 33:51Call 800-Yes Word, 800-Yes Word or give at SendBiblesNow.org.
555. 34:29The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at aFR.net back
556. 34:40to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
557. 34:44Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, the third here.
558. 34:48Well, during the campaign, and I heard lots of it, many of you did as well.
559. 34:53President Trump's saying a bunch of things.
560. 34:55And America needs to take back control of the Panama Canal.
561. 34:59Canada needs to be the 51st state of the United States of America, which, oh, Kaiser Trudeau
562. 35:06hit the he chunked the deuces, huh?
563. 35:10But he also mentioned the desire to purchase Greenland.
564. 35:16Now, I'll tell you, I didn't really take that seriously until today.
565. 35:24I didn't take it seriously because it's easy to talk, you know, you know, President Trump
566. 35:28is going, you know, I mean, well, some people say, yeah, that, and I've been the great guy
567. 35:34greatest person ever to live. Some people say I would never say to myself, but some people
568. 35:36say it, you know, you know, it's quite, quite bombastic. This presentation is someone say
569. 35:41Jeff, some would say you're very good. The best, best producer ever that ever. Some would say
570. 35:47Jeff would never say to himself. Some would say, you know, but today Donald Trump, Jr.
571. 35:57landed in Greenland with Charlie Kirk on President Trump's private plane that he likes
572. 36:05to refer to as Trump Force One, which made me think, you know, private plane flights are
573. 36:16not cheap. Fuel that you employ are not cheap. It made me think, could there be something to
574. 36:26this? And I'll tell you why I am thinking this. But before I explain why I'm thinking,
575. 36:33it could be something to this more than I thought previously. Because I before today, before this
576. 36:38day, I wasn't taking President Trump seriously about the whole Greenland thing. But now
577. 36:43I'm like, that sure is a lot to go through.
578. 36:47He ain't like rolling up in the garbage truck
579. 36:49during the election because Mr. Robinette said,
580. 36:53you got it.
581. 36:54And all of y'all support us all too.
582. 36:56The wicked witch.
583. 36:56He regulated on to you, too.
584. 36:59Rolling up in the garbage truck.
585. 37:01That's a low threshold.
586. 37:02I don't take much of rolling up in the garbage,
587. 37:03but you got a contingent dispatch to Greenland.
588. 37:09Listen to him watch clip number three,
589. 37:11this is Donald Jr. in Greenland today.
590. 37:15Clip 3.
591. 37:16Go.
592. 37:17I'm just really excited to be here.
593. 37:19Awesome country.
594. 37:20The scenery coming in was just spectacular.
595. 37:22Just very excited to be here today.
596. 37:23Do you have anything from your father?
597. 37:25He says hello.
598. 37:26Okay.
599. 37:27To who?
600. 37:28We were talking to him yesterday.
601. 37:29So he says hello to everyone in Greenwood.
602. 37:32Okay, are you still interested in buying Greenwood?
603. 37:34Thank you so much for the reaction.
604. 37:36No, we're not meeting any politicians here.
605. 37:38So that's not on the schedule.
606. 37:39We're just here as tourists looking at it.
607. 37:42Could you tell me about the American interest?
608. 37:44the American interest in that. That's not for me to talk about. That's for others to talk
609. 37:48about. But we're just excited to be here. Thank you guys.
610. 37:58That is it. Bobby asked the question that I'm assuming that he expected the reporter to
611. 38:02ask. Why would you be there? You know, Donald Jr. said we're not meeting any politicians.
612. 38:09According to Mr. Trump, he's there on a an interest mission. That's what his father Donald
613. 38:18Trump's senior said while president Trump is that Mar-a-Lago he's asked and we know
614. 38:26that your son landed in greenland today president Trump said it straight up didn't
615. 38:29mark needs to give it up didn't mark needs to give greenland up can I tell you
616. 38:37why I think he's taking it seriously now before today I told you I didn't think
617. 38:41it was you serious I think it's serious now and this is why by conservative
618. 38:48estimates. United States of America is 30 trillion approaching 50, 30 plus trillion approaching
619. 38:5650 trillion dollars in debt. The biggest driver of that debt has been a bipartisan project
620. 39:04of the last several decades to spend into oblivion. I am grateful for Doge and even
621. 39:14bringing the issue of the need to cut spending back to the surface. However, I'm going to tell you,
622. 39:19You know what I mean?
623. 39:21The biggest doge fight, pun intended, that's going to take place is Republicans and Democrats
624. 39:27who are not going to allow spending cuts in the significant and substantive levels that
625. 39:31need to take place.
626. 39:32Now, I think the American people have a role to play in that, that we need to put pressure
627. 39:36on the Congress to do it.
628. 39:37But let's be frank, another contributor, because we like to talk about the politicians,
629. 39:44the bipartisan spending frenzy.
630. 39:46You know why they spend like that?
631. 39:48Because American people like it.
632. 39:49That's why a lot of some people want to talk spending cuts until their benefits have to
633. 39:56be reduced.
634. 39:58All right.
635. 39:59So if you are president Trump, you recognize you have one term to make significant impact,
636. 40:05make a significant impact.
637. 40:06And really you only have two years because the campaigning in earnest and Congress is
638. 40:10going to begin in 2026.
639. 40:15Straight up.
640. 40:17What would you consider?
641. 40:18Well, for those who made an understand that it's not a look, well, I'm telling we have
642. 40:23some brilliant people who will listen to a watch this show comment from a viewer.
643. 40:31It's not what's on the surface of Greenland, but below.
644. 40:35Trump is not known for doing things nearly willy.
645. 40:41You just run the bell.
646. 40:42Let me tell you why.
647. 40:44Why do I think President Trump is serious about Greenland in addition to their the physical
648. 40:47presence today made it a real deal for me?
649. 40:52You want to know what Greenland is known to have an abundance?
650. 40:56I'll just read it to you.
651. 40:59is known to hold excellent potential for a host of natural resources including
652. 41:07zinc, lead, heavy light and rare earth minerals, copper, but here's some of the
653. 41:16biggies. Iron ore, gold, oil and gas deposits. Greenland, which is currently a
654. 41:31a territory of Denmark has not had much natural gas, oil, and elemental exploration.
655. 41:44It's almost like an untapped resource of pretty significant land size.
656. 41:51So if you are a potential, let's put you in a position of Commander-in-Chief, and you
657. 41:57You need to make, let's say, big moves into reducing inflation, having sources of valuable
658. 42:07materials and resources that could aid in the economic despair of your nation.
659. 42:15You study world history is either you got it or you go get it.
660. 42:20I believe President Trump is serious about this in light of what transpired here today.
661. 42:34Now the Prime Minister of Greenland said Greenland is not for sale.
662. 42:38All right.
663. 42:42I'll just say it this way.
664. 42:43The not for sale term has been used plenty of times as a bargaining chip.
665. 42:48A lot of us when we realize you don't take we did buy Alaska from Russia because of the
666. 43:00natural resources that are present in Greenland.
667. 43:02I really think President Trump is serious about this.
668. 43:07I think he's serious about it.
669. 43:09And you know, you know, as well as I know how he wants to make an impact this term, not
670. 43:20to mention the strategic location of Greenland in terms of having, oh, I don't know military
671. 43:25resources back in anywhere, anywhere around the world quite quickly.
672. 43:35I think he's serious.
673. 43:37Now I think he's, I didn't think he was serious before today.
674. 43:40I think he's serious today.
675. 43:42When you consider the bevy and there are things that are available, you can see plotted maps
676. 43:47where gold is located, where things are located.
677. 43:50And you can see it's proximity to, shall I say,
678. 43:55the unfriendly guys in the school box,
679. 43:59I think it's a big deal.
680. 44:00And you know, if President Trump can pull this off,
681. 44:03this would be a big deal for our nation.
682. 44:06It would be a big deal for our nation.
683. 44:09All right, a lot of things that happen
684. 44:12if an ice cream man or the people that are handling
685. 44:14the ice cream man, that in my view,
686. 44:17they are being done intentionally,
687. 44:19not merely to sabotage President Trump's attempt to sabotage President Trump's assuming of the
688. 44:24Oval Office, but also frankly, to make the world a less stable place. If you can even imagine that,
689. 44:30I mean, the overwhelming amount of the usage of the pardon power, the release of Gitmo inmates,
690. 44:40the unilateral proclamation of a permanent ban on oil and gas exploration across 625 million
691. 44:50acres of federal land. It's not going to stand, but he's going to try to do it. And then this
692. 44:57one, and this one will seem on its surface and I know the spin will be, oh, we need to
693. 45:02protect an American corporation. What am I talking about? There is a Japanese company,
694. 45:08Nippon Steel, NIPP ON Steel, that has been negotiating to acquire US Steel for $14.1 billion. The
695. 45:17The acquisition will require for the US Steel company's operations to continue on US soil
696. 45:23to keep every one of US Steel's employees continually working.
697. 45:27It is more of a collegial merger between US Steel and Nippon Steel as opposed to a hostile
698. 45:37or even simply a takeover of US Steel.
699. 45:42This deal has been in negotiation for quite some time.
700. 45:45All of a sudden, all of a sudden, Mr. Joseph Robinette Biden or should I say whoever is
701. 45:56doing the weekend at Bernie's dance and Mr. Robinette's dead, as all of a sudden announced
702. 46:03that Mr. Biden is going to use executive action to oppose this deal.
703. 46:09The spin of course is, oh, we need to preserve this for America.
704. 46:14But of course, as you always know, you got to get into the details.
705. 46:16Listen to and watch clip number four, clip four, go.
706. 46:21A 14.9 billion with a B, a dollar takeover of US Steel by
707. 46:27Napaan Steel, a decision that comes after weeks and months of speculation here.
708. 46:33This is an iconic American company who is sale to a foreign buyer.
709. 46:38The president has at least subtly signaled that he is opposed to now for weeks.
710. 46:43But the decision coming today.
711. 46:44I want to read to you part of that statement that we just showed to viewers.
712. 46:48The president saying a strong domestically owned and operated steel industry represents
713. 46:53an essential national security priority.
714. 46:56And it's critical for resilient supply chains.
715. 46:58He goes on to say that he's taking action to block the deal because, of course, his solemn
716. 47:03responsibility as president is to ensure that now and long into the future America has
717. 47:08a strong domestically owned and operated steel industry.
718. 47:12just exercising an enormous amount of executive power here. The timing is also
719. 47:17notable as of course the president will depart the White House in just a few weeks.
720. 47:23Now that's the spin they're going with. Oh this is a Protect American industry. Now
721. 47:27when have you known Mr. Joseph Robinette to commit himself to dare I say it, make
722. 47:32America great again? To have an America first disposition? Let me just get right to it.
723. 47:40Let's toggle over to what Chinese media is saying about this.
724. 47:45Mm hmm.
725. 47:46The South China Morning Post, which is owned by a Chinese tech company that's committed
726. 47:50to quote, improving China's image overseas and combating what it sees as anti-China bias
727. 47:56in foreign media.
728. 47:59They publish an argument.
729. 48:00They publish an article saying, cooperative Tokyo finds America a demanding but ungrateful
730. 48:05boss.
731. 48:08The sub header in their story goes on and insult both the US and Japan saying the deal is
732. 48:14dead.
733. 48:16Everything Japan did to accommodate its American partner.
734. 48:19Now they're getting rejected.
735. 48:21Chinese media is celebrating Joseph Robinette Biden's rejection of the Nippon steel US steel
736. 48:29merger.
737. 48:30Why'd you ask?
738. 48:33Just a little fact for your information.
739. 48:38You know who's a global dominant party in steel production?
740. 48:42China.
741. 48:44China produces as much steel as every other country combined.
742. 48:50You know where most of China's steel goes?
743. 48:52Right in its own country.
744. 48:54The overwhelming majority of Chinese steel never leaves the country, but the very small
745. 48:59amount, the very small amount of exported Chinese steel exceeds the total amount of
746. 49:05of steel produced by the US or Japan.
747. 49:10China knows if Nippon merges with US steel,
748. 49:13they immediately become the second largest steel company
749. 49:16in the world, which begins to rival the global domination
750. 49:20that China has on steel.
751. 49:23So while they're trying to sell domestically,
752. 49:25that Mr. Robinette is trying to protect
753. 49:27an American company, it's actually the opposite.
754. 49:32He's trying to help China.
755. 49:35And what was that about that email?
756. 49:37That was in that laptop that said,
757. 49:39waiting minute got something the big guy well where was that deal coming from again
758. 49:42but oh that's right that was a deal with China so while you use in the public
759. 49:50spin and say this is protected American company you dig into the details of the
760. 49:53deal the merger was going to protect the American company the thwarting of the deal
761. 49:57hurts us deal and helps China isn't that an interesting conundrum in the last few
762. 50:05waiting hours of the Biden administration the views and opinions expressed in this
